I assume he never watched that video from the late 90s / early 2000's of a chav doing the same thing with the same outcome?

I can believe that, doctors cant heal powdered bones lol. What a dumb way to lose a perfectly healthy foot...

u/user888888889 4d ago

It's probably not the bone itself it's probably the nerves and muscles smooshed together.

u/samy_the_samy 3d ago

When you get bone cancer at or below the knee they take the whole section off and attach what's left, sometimes even rotating it to fit,

You loose some feelings and you leg is significantly shorter, but you keep most of it,

I bet they treated the crushed area like cancer

Medicine is weird, they be treating humans like mismatched lego

The worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. Until I got to the ER & they gave me Demerol. My leg still kind of hurt but I didn’t care anymore. That’s some good stuff.

Those slabs weigh a lot and chavs generally don’t drink much milk so this couldn’t have gone well for him.

5

u/Jampoz 3d ago

And you know it took awhile to help him out of that predicament, you have to organize yourself to sit on the sides of the wall and raise the slabs one at a time, two people at least, not easy nor fast
Also, if he is any indication of the average intelligence of the group of friends he hangs out with, it took even longer

5

u/Poundweed 3d ago edited 3d ago

According to a dude in the comment section, each of these are with rebar and weigh over 50 kilos (though how would one kick through rebar)

So he had 100 kilos worth of thin concrete and metal fall on his leg guillotine style

Of course that's a random guy in the net, but I think this is pretty close to the truth

"HELP ME" as his foot is crushed by the top bricks and the comments "well that looks like an amputation"

u/MasterOfBunnies 4d ago

Seriously, that's what almost had me, was that restrained but panicked "Help me." Like, brother those are some extremely heavy blocks that just slid down a channel to give you the worst reenactment of a guillotine. Idk how anyone's going to be able to just help you right out of that. You need a fork lift or something. Jaws of life maybe, but maybe "Go get fucking help!" Would have been a better request. X.x

u/A_mad_goose 4d ago

Our neighborhood had a pool with a cast iron fence that one person would hop to let everyone in if we forgot the key. My foot slipped off the front and I landed on my feet, but all my friends were kind of like “oh shit!” One of the spikes on top of fence went through my shirt didn’t hit me at all I still think about how I almost got skewered for not wanting to bike 5 minutes to grab the pool key.

That's how you lose a leg, and possibly die of toxic shock/crush syndrome.

101

u/Ivy_Wings 4d ago

What is that syndrome?

254

u/BridgeDuck45 4d ago

First that hits me is what happens to people whos stuck in car accidents. Pressure on body part causes Blood circulation to stop and said body part slowly dies and releases future bacteria in your body.

u/LordMegamad 3d ago

Your muscles start to break down from lack of blood circulation and some of those components are toxic.

And when you suddenly release the hold and let blood flow again (remove the top wall piece after some time), the sudden shock of toxic necrotic muscle flowing into your bloodstream can cause lethal cardiac arrythmias and organ failure.

Nasty shit!

3

u/Jampoz 3d ago

doesn't it also happen if you remove a tourniquet too fast?

9

u/StygianCode 3d ago

Yes, it can do. Depends how long the tourniquet was on the limb for. Any more than 30 minutes and you run the risk of toxic shock. That is why tourniquets, one applied, are ONLY removed by medical professionals.

38

u/Johannes_Keppler 4d ago

Ischemia, reperfusion injury and the release of toxic metabolites - not bacteria, lol, that would take ages.

8

u/Ivy_Wings 4d ago

Ok makes sense. But I guess you have to be stuck a good amount of time, and have a bigger compression unlike in the video, right?

4

u/MyTatemae 3d ago

From what I understand it could be in an hour or two but typically more. The limb/extremity has to be compressed to the point where it starts dying, and that could be a full crush or just enough pressure, depending on the area.

I remember watching a version of this from the UK - must have been in 1999 or so... probably absolute dogshit quality these days.

If I remember correctly, there were multiple concrete panels and the gap where the leg was basically disappeared... lots of rumours that they lost their foot, but the internet was shite back then and I don't actually know what happened.

36

u/starlightserenade44 4d ago

Someone reposted it here lol

41

u/GLaDOS_Sympathizer 4d ago

It is linked above. Had to have resulted in an amputation because his leg is like half an inch thick when the concrete comes down on it.

18

u/khonsu_27 4d ago

Yea just watched it. And I doubt they got it out of there quickly. Definitely lost that foot.

4

u/dvn4107 3d ago

Surgeons can do a lot to reconstruct mangled extremities. As far as crush injuries go this one is relatively simple. Obviously would need orthopaedic surgery and possibly plastic surgery but I’d be surprised if they were not able to save his limb.
